Found some cool historical stuff on the Kon Tiki.

First off, it opened in 1962, not 1963. It looks like the owner, Dean Short, did a little raid on the Aku Aku in Las Vegas to staff his restaurant and bar.

The Chef Tommy Wong

And the head bartender Joe Kawila Torrejon

Were both from the Aku Aku.

The bartender knew the secret drink recipes of old.

The Manager, Everett Packham

And the friendly wait staff

All together now.
